Bigger than Jesus

The Vatican has posthumously pardoned John Lennon.

It turns out, after all these years, The Beatles really *are* bigger than Jesus:

"
The fact remains that 38 years after breaking up, the songs of the Lennon-McCartney brand have shown an extraordinary resistance to the passage of time, becoming a source of inspiration for more than one generation of pop musicians..."

Also bigger than Jesus, Miley Cyrus and recently, Barack Obama.

So. On my list of "mortal sins" which the Vatican has committed, I can cross off:
-Denying the Holocaust
-Excommunicating Lennon

Okay Papa. You're off the cyber-dead list and onto life-support.
Let's hear an apology for those few centuries of minor Inquisitions, an open acknowledgement that men of the cloth sometimes favor little children in place of celibacy and I'll consider redeeming the Holy Empire entirely.
